Ports’ data online for energy firms

A new online directory offering information for companies in the energy industry on the capacity and capabilities of 26 Scottish ports has been launched.

The website provides technical details covering the oil and gas, decommissioning, subsea and renewable sectors.

Aberdeen harbour and Nigg Energy park are among 15 north and northeast facilities featured.

Managed by the British Ports Association (BPA), the Scottish Energy Ports Capability Directory was developed by the organisation with Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE) and Scottish Enterprise (SE).

BPA chief executive Richard Ballantyne said: “In recent years Scotland has seen success in a range of offshore energy projects, with Scottish ports and harbours playing a crucial role in their delivery.

“To build on this achievement and generate increased business opportunities, we have been working with HIE and SE to develop a tool to showcase and promote the fantastic facilities the Scottish ports have.”
